I Wish Somebody Would Build A Bridge (so I Can Get Over Myself) Lyrics

I Wish Somebody Would Build A Bridge (so I Can Get Over Myself) lyrics

Munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on Friday



Cruising down the Pacific Highway



Thinking 'bout the day ahead







I paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill



If those two don't overthrow me the dogs will



But heck at least I know the taste of bread







Why do I seem to spend my whole damn life chasing paper?



I'm like an actor turned singer turned waiter



I'll wait around until I meet with my maker



Then I'll sign up for AA or something







I just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere



This little strip of earth and all that I've done there



I'm like a bull-ant on the leg of a sunchair



Under a magnifying glass







I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm wasting my time







I take a phonecall on the mobile while I'm checking the meter



One sec I need to turn up that little speaker



It's getting noisy in this little town







We're like America we love to make a ho-har out of jackshit



I never ever really seemed to fit



But now I'm stuck so deep in all of this







Come to think of it I might as well be travelling backwards



It's been an hour and I'm only in Chatswood



I hate the way that I'm becoming a product



Go pick me up for $24.95







I'm on sale and it's retail in the world of deception



You can treat a man if he can't get erections



Is there a pill for my lack of direction?



Thanks mate, I'll have a pack of those







I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm wasting my time



I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm losing my mind







It's all good I got a broom and a cheap persian rug now



I can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now



Outta sight, outta mind







I'll keep on going until I'm pushing 30 or 40



And as long as I don't do something naughty



I love my wife, what a life







She comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning



I popped a whole lot of pills and I'm shaking



And there's a needle sticking out of my arm, I ain't faking I'm zoning in and
zoning out







You wanna help me, don't call me an ambulance honey



Just get a silver service cab this is funny



Just one passenger please, going up my own ass



You take credit card? Fuck this!







I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm wasting my time



I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm losing my mind







I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm wasting my time



I'm wasting my life



I wish somebody would build a bridge



So I could get over myself



On my own I'm losing my mind
